Though ospreys were sighted across the field, the nest looked like it had been added too. (This might be due to storm shifting around branches however)

There was a male around the nest
We observed an adult female at the nest with a nestling. No male was spotted at the time.
There are both adult osprey present during the observation period. They are tending to the nestling in the center. When the nestling perched on the edge it appeared quite large, perhaps it hatched a while before it was observed..
Both the adult male and female osprey were present, tending to the center of the nest upon arrival. After ten minutes it was evident there was a chick in the center of the nest. Soon after the male osprey moved to the lights underneath the nest.
There is an adult osprey sitting beneath the nest on the light, assumed to be a male because of size. there is no apparent movement in the nest.
No osprey were present during observation period.
Both male and female osprey were present during period of observation. The female osprey flew away after about seven minutes.
One osprey observed on the edge of the nest. It appeared to be rearranging nesting materials here and there.
Both male and female osprey were present. The female was sitting in the center of the nest. The male was perched along the side, tending to the center.
Wow!!! After weeks of appearing abandoned this nest has been occupied! At first a very large osprey was observed perched in the front-center of the nest, grooming itself. After about 5-10 minutes the large osprey took flight and the head of an adult female was visible in the center of the nest. There appeared to be movement in the nest but perhaps it was the female shuffling around.
This nest remains abandoned.
Still no ospreys occupying the nest. A loud baseball event nearby seems to have driven away some of the ospreys.
This nest remains abandoned.
Although this nest is built up I believe it is abandoned.
The nest is very large and built up, but no osprey were seen occupying the nest or flying close-by.
appeared to be only one osprey in the nest during observation, however the nest is quite large and may house more then one osprey.
Adults arrived December 2012. Incubation began during December 2012. Chicks first seen in nest March 2013.
